4 Weeks to a More Organized Home: Monthly Recap

Over the course of March I participated in Money Saving Mom's 4 Weeks to a more Organized Home Challenge.  Each day there was one or two cleaning tasks, as well as the goal of removing at least 7 items of clutter per day.  Being 8 months pregnant I decided to forgo my heavy Spring deep clean in favor of this challenge's simplicity.  I am pleased with the cleaning I was able to accomplish as well as all of the items that got decluttered, and are now out of my life forever - so freeing!  Here's a summary and links to how the month went...
  • Day #1: Quick House Pick-up and Purse Clean-out - 7
